About This Game

Imagine We Were Human is a compilation of 12 imaginative, literary, nano games about humans meeting and missing one another.

Each game is unique in its presentation, design, and narrative while piecing together the human experiences that tether together each and every one of us across space, cultures, histories, and experiences.

Games in this compilation include: 

  • In Time, On Distance: a series of speed date conversations between two people willing to try and connect.

  • MND Anatomy: a mind-bending night for Amari Mallory, as you play through his internal debrief post-dinner date.

  • Seconds Between Summer: a dual screen swimming game where you move from moment to moment, unravel the truth scattered amongst the waves, and reveal what a difference a year can make.

  • Liminal Strangers: game poem about two people walking past each other, and the hidden connections we have among strangers. 

  • EXPANDED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THIS COMPILATION - Within Rotation: encounter 16 unique strangers and their conversations with one another, imagined through a gumball machine.
